Multiple XY graph

Hi, in a control and simulation loop, I am making an xy graph that combines data from two wires for the x values and data from two wires for the y values. I have attached a picture of part of the code. When I run using some variable it works ok (picture 1) but when I change the variable to a lower value it looks like the signal stopped and the rest of the curve is not drawn (picture 2, green line which should go until about 42 in the x axis). Am I inserting the right functions for making this sort of graphs or am I missing something like a build array function or something similar?
Thanks

For the untrained eye it is impossible to tell what you really want and what the significant difference between the two images is. On both graphs that you show, the green curve does not go to 42 on the x-axis. (one goes to x=~12 and the other to x=~15)
Maybe you should have a look at the real data. Could it be some values are NaN? I don't have this particular toolkit (simulation?) installed, but if you attach your program, somebody else might be able to troubleshoot further.
I am not a big fan of dynamic data and expres VIs, because they hide too much information when looking at a diagram picture. What is in the arrays and scalars that build the dynamic data? Is the express VI set to retain data between calls?

Hi...
I've created one application process for creating Multiple Line Graph.
And i've integreted two tables in this graph, where values may be common for both the tables. In this case, for common values, instead of getting overlapped I'm getting scattered graph(its totally abnormal). Please help me if you 've any idea about this issue.....?

Read from spreadsheet and plot multiple XY graph

I'm trying to read a text file using the "Read from Spreadsheet" function. Next I want to plot the data in it on a single XY Graph.
The text file contains 4 coloums and the first coloumn is X axis and rest are for Y axis. I'm not able to get the multiple plots.
However, I could get it to plot when only a single graph is to be plotted(only 2 coloumn in file). I've attached my VI and a picture here.
I need help in plotting multiple XY graph from the text file with the 4 coloumns.

Display multiple Waveform-Graphs on a separate Frontpanel

Hi there,
I'm looking for a solution to display multiple waveform-graphs on a separate frontpanel.
In my application I measure a number of channels (number is a user-input). The signals I want to display each in a separate waveform-graph, because they have different scales. They shall be arranged that way, that the user can switch them on and off or arranges them on the screen, while the application is running (measuring). He shall also be able to maximize all graphs or a graph window to have a closer look at the signals.
I already tried several things.
1. I placed the maximum number of graphs in a separate vi, which I start in my application and then switch the frontpanel on and off via a property-node. The values I also write via the references of the waveform-array, which I place in an array. This way I can also change the propertys of each plot (scale, xmin xmax, etc), but I always have all graphs on the screen (also the unused).
2. I then tried to change the visible-property of the unused graphs, but I cannot scale and rearrange the remaining graphs to the full frontpanel-size, because this property is read-only.
3. I placed just one waveform-graph in the vi and then start as many vis, as I need. This is cool, because I also can program the position and size of each frontpanel, so that they are arranged in a grid on the display, but all the graphs are separate and it is uncomfortable if the user had to arrange them separate. The windows need to be docked ore something like that.
4. I tried to place the graph-vis in subpanels, but then I cannot change the position and size of the vis programmatically.
Has anyone an idea, how to solve this?
I am using LabView2009Sp1 Professional Development System
Thanks Norman

Thanks so far,
I attached some examples of what I tried already.
1. MaximumNumberOf Graphs - I show 6 graphs although only two are needed. I cannot rescale the used ones to the full screen size, because the property is read-only
2. RescaledFrontpanel - I switch the unused graphs to invisible, resize the frontpanel to hide the unused graphs, but now the window is not zoomable
3. GridOfWindows displays the desired grid of graphs in separate windows, but they don't stick together
I hope this explains the situation better.

Multiple Line Graph

First off, thanks to kglad for the line graph function I
started with, it has been a huge help. Now the step I'm trying to
take is 2 fold.
First, I'd like to graph more than one line segment on the
graph. Right now I am graphing functions f1 and f2, but f2
currently overwrites f1. I want them to coincide so f1 goes from
x=1 to x=15, f2 goes from x=15 to x=25, f3 goes from x=25 to x=10
at a different y (these are all curves), and finally f4 goes from
x=10 to x=1 creating a closed shape. Also, I want the x values and
the y values to be variable based on the temperature. I'm using
PV=nRT and n, R, and T are all known. so I have something like
P=nRT/V where P is y, V is X and the nRT can be calculated for two
steps of the 4. The other two steps are adiabatic, so Q=0, I don't
know yet how to fit the lines but i do know that y = a / (x^(5/3))
is a formula that works, I just need to find the proper a values
for steps 2 and 4.
Part two of this issue is that currently the graph is drawing
as the whole canvas, which is fine for testing until i get the
multiple line part worked out; however I only want this to be 1/4
of the viewing area as I have other movie clips and such to put on
this. A conceptual drawing of what I plan on making can be found
at:
http://www.students.bucknell.edu/gbement/Steps.html
I'm a novice to Actionscript and movie clips, I previously
did everything with motion tweens and nothing was dynamic. I plan
on creating the piston and molecule simulation in another movie
clip, then I can vary the play speed relative to the hot and cold
temperatures by looping the movieclip and having it play faster for
a high T and slower for a low T.
Any help on any of my many issues would be greatly
appreciated and the user will be recognized for their assistance in
my research presentation :)

Hi Arun, thanks again for the help but upon closer inspection
(along with only a basic knowledge of java and actionscript), I
think your script would need editing to work for me (editing i'm
unsure of how to do). What I'm looking for is a graph that will
create a line based on a function. Much like y=(a*b*c)/x or
y=(a*b*c)/(x^1.66) The a*b*c would be complicated also, but here's
what i've thought up on paper that I have to move to script, I hope
this is useful:
Step 1: Calculate the a*b*c
The original function is PV=nRT , nRT being the a*b*c ,
however the Thot and Tcold terms are input boxes that the user
types in before hitting the "go" button.
So I have to do this much:
tcold = Number(tcold_num.text);
thot = Number(thot_num.text);
var n:Number = 1;
var R:Number = 0.0825;
var a:Number;
var b:Number;
var c:Number;
var d:Number;
a = n*R*thot // Step 1 constant
b = // Step 2 constant (formula to be finished :-/) Looks to
be a formula using ((b) / (Math.pow(x, 1.666)))
c = n*R*tcold // Step 3 constant
d = // Step 4 constant (formula to be finished :-/)
Then I need to find a way to initialize axis to line the
graph, I can label the P and V axis using static text boxes later I
suppose.
The problem I have with yours that I don't understand is that
I could add the function into the y part of the addLine() function,
however it's noted as inity= y1 (requires a number), and the
function definition has y1:Number.
Now the issue i'm tackling below is just a newbie's lack of
understanding (i hope), but the script kglad wrote (snipped below)
will graph one line, and i can't figure out for the life of me how
to write this up to graph more than one instance without
overwritting the previous line. Again, Thanks for the help so far,
it has helped me find the points where I lacked direction and solid
ideas before.

That's because you use 'Replace array subset', the element you try to replace does not exist, that means the new element is not placed inside the array.

Multiple XY Graph grid

I have a XY Graph with multiple Y axis and I want the grid lines from the 3 Y axis to line up.
But I also want to keep the auto scale function.
Is this possible?
Solved!

Hi TBN,
nope...
Either use autocaling and turn off grids (for atleast two of your Y axis) or do the scaling based on your own algorithm that keeps grid lines "lined up"...

Programmatically controlling multiple scale graph

Is there a way to programmatically duplicate the Y scale of an XY Graph and to associate it to one of the multiple plots.

> Is there a way to programmatically duplicate the Y scale of an XY
> Graph and to associate it to one of the multiple plots.
You can show and hide a scale, you while a VI is running, LV cannot
create a new scale.
Make your graph in advance to have the number of scales you need, then
programmatically hide the ones you don't need and show the ones you are
using. You can also set the Plot Active Y Scale to select which Y scale
is used for the plot.

How to draw multiple line graph using bi graph in JHeastart?

hello,
i have a problem when displaying a multiple graph in JHeadstart.i had created a graph that represent the report of medical testing.my x-axis is "report date",my y-axis is "observation value" then my series attributes is depend on "item description" .
One patient has many "item description",each "item description" has one "observation value" and each "item description" has many "report date".
when the graph was displayed,it only show me in 1 line,then it is depend on the id patient but not like what i set in the graph wizard.actually,it should be display fews line accroding to the "item description".
then,the "observation value" and "item description" are get from defferent entity object.
i dun know what was happen.any hits are welcome.
thanks

yes,finally i found how to draw it.Actually the series attributes is depend on VO's primary key .
thanks to who was view my problem.

Help needed in creating a multiple surface graph.

Dear all,
Thank you for taking the time to read my question.
I have an equation with 3 variables.
I have managed to plot 2 variable(and the result of the equation) on a 3d surface plot and now I am trying to plot the third one as multiple surfaces.
More in detail, I am trying to plot the induced current in a coil of turns R, at a distance x from a High Voltage(High Current) conductor.
You will see from my attached file that I have plotted 'Induced current', 'Radius from point x' and 'HV conductor Current'.
I now wish to plot turns N (say 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 turns) as 5 multiple plots (one on top of the other).
How can I do this, as I have checked the example files and have not found something very relevant on that. Also answers to similar questions are not very clear to me.
I am also not quite sure that the surface plot I have is correct, as the valus of HV conductor Current (I) do not start from 500. The same happens for Radius From Point 'x' (R), as they start from 3,5 instead of 3.
If I go to to CDgraph3D>>properties, I can see 4 more plots but they are definetely not what I would expect.
I am trying to plot:
Radius from point 'x' (R)= 3, 3.5, 4,...,5
HV Conductor Current I = 500,600,...,1000
# turns of coil N= 50, 100,...,250 (as 5 surface plots)
and last Induced Current
What am I doing wrong in my code?
Thanks

How to print very long data series (wrap multiple XY graphs)

I'm working a data logger project where each file usually contains 5 - 10 minutes of data but sometimes may go up to 3 hours +. The customer needs the ability to print out all of the acquired data in XY charts.
If the amount of data recorded exceeds 15 minutes, printing all of the data on a single chart is not an option (granularity) so they want to print as many 15 minute chunks as necessary to cover the entire range. Ideally, they want to print out two 15 minute graphs stacked on top of each other on a landscape page. I can split the data into chunks (that's the easy part) but I need a way to create an arbitrary number of XY graphs and format/size them for mult-page print out (2 per page).
I'm looking for some ideas on how to solve this problem - any ideas are welcome as long as they involve LabVIEW and maybe Excel because it needs to be something i can integrate into the application. I can't use offline post-processing like Diadem in this situation.
Philip
CLD

Philip,
I would probably create one VI with two graphs formatted for printing. Then loop through the data, write segments to the graphs, print, repeat until all data is printed. This method allows one very simple VI to present the data for printing and allows the user control over what is printed via the calling VI. For example if they decided that 10-minute graphs were better for certain data sets than 15-minute graphs, all the calling VI needs to do is change the amount of data written to the graphs.
Write the data to a file to protect the data in the event of power failures or other unplanned events. Read it back to print if there may be too much data to keep in memory.

How to plot a multiple XY graph showing the area between the curves as shaded (colored)

I want to generate multiple XY plots and want to show (e.g. colored) the area between the two selected curves. I am using LabView 8.
Thanks in advance for your help.

That was too quick !
Your example is significantly more complicated, since there are some boolean logic behind.
I'm not sure this is something that can be done easily with LabVIEW. After some play with the drawing order of the various curves, I have been able to reproduce your example, but that's not very elegant :
Plots 0 and 1 are duplicates of plots 4 and 5 to improve the drawing (without these additionnal plots, the red and black lines almost disapear, hidden by the inter-curve filling). Line 2 fills to Line 5 (green to red in white). Line 3 fills to Line 4 (black to blue, in grey).
May be someone will comes with a better solution. Ben ?

Multiple channels, multiple waveform graph

Hello, there! I am trying to read four signals from four channels on DAQ device. I need to show the first two signals on one diagram and the other two on another diagram. So I wrote a simple VI as I attached. It gives me an error message like the picture I attached. Does anyone know how to debug this VI? I have come up with some very stupid idea to solve this problem, I can wire all this four AI Voltage VI together then go through Timing VI, then Logging VI, then Read VI, then I can connect the data terminal of this Read VI to an Index Array VI, so that I can do the following as the third Pic I attched. I have not tried this yet, but I want to find out some better method. (Maybe like the VI I wrote, it is very intuitive for people to understand)

Hi,
We need more information on detail of the DAQ device in use? I suspect this error could be due to sharing of single onboard clock.
However, If all the channels could be coupled into a single task (This should be possible since there are not configuration difference between acquisition for different channel)
Then you could use the Simple Delete from Array Function with Index=2 and length =2 available to seperate the waveform array and display them on two seperate graph Indicator. (attached modified vi)

Save multiple waveform graphs and data in one Excel File

Hi there,
I managed to save data from waveform graph into excel file and saving the plot into excel but individually. I'm aiming to save both the data and the plot in an excel file. May I know how do I do it? I've tried using the Write to Measurement File vi and also the invoke node of the waveform chart but it's still not giving me what I've wanted.
The above was only for one analog input channel and I have 2 analog inputs each with their respective sets of data and plot. Is there a way to execute the data and plot of one input in one worksheet and another set of data and plot in another worksheet, all in one excel file?

Hi there;
I would recommend using the Report Generation Toolkit; it is the easiest way.
You can use either the Report Express VI or the Appi to save all your data in both formats

Graphing Multiple 3D Graph Types with Spherical Data Points

I have data points that are in theta, phi and r (magnatude) that I would like to be able to 3D plot and change the text/contour to either wireframe or contoured or points on the fly. I believe this is possible however, after looking at the NI examples, they are all done with xyz coordinates and have yet to see a 3D graph with spherical (NI, take this as a suggestion ).
Over a year ago, I was able to create data in spherical by giving it 3 1D arrays, but it only plotted it in the form of point or line. The examples that have a torus use parametric plots?! although I am not entirely sure I understand how it works nor how to convert to it from spherical.
Attached is a sample input file/array. Wanted to see if anyone had experience using the built in 3D libraries (CW 3D Graph
8.0) to achieve something similar.
Note: the Amplitude column is absolute and could be made positive for ease of use as well.
